Spokane River Poachers

Sean Visintainer - 07/11/18

Be responsible

Very sad and disgusting. Not only are the wild redband populations lower than what they used to be, it also very illegal to kill them. Silver Bow guide Britten Jay saw this tragedy at the takeout yesterday with what appears to be 13 dead native redbands that had their fillets removed and the bodies discarded. If you see poachers on the river please report them immediately to crime check and/or the fish and game office. Everyone needs to follow the rules in order to protect the remaining populations of redbands in the Spokane River. This is completely unacceptable.
